Irish Team to Play Scotland next Saturday

Declan Kidney makes four changes to the starting team. He is reflecting the strong performance of D'Arcy (v France) and Best and Leamy (V England) as final quarter impact subs. O'leary is probably being punished for a weak (by his standards)performance against England. I would expect to see O'Leary, Heaslip and Flannery on the pitch in Murrayfield in the last twenty minutes, each hungary and with something to prove. Kidney knows something about winning and motivation.

15 – Robert Kearney (UCD/Leinster)
14 – Tommy Bowe (Ospreys)
13 – Brian O’Driscoll (UCD/Leinster) Captain )
12 – Gordon D'Arcy (Lansdowne/Leinster)
11 – Luke Fitzgerald (Blackrock College/Leinster)

10 – Ronan O’Gara (Cork Constitution/Munster)

9 – Peter Stringer(Shannon/Munster)
1 – Marcus Horan (Shannon/Munster)
2 – Rory Best (Banbridge/Ulster)
3 – John Hayes (Bruff/Munster)
4 – Donncha O’Callaghan (Cork Constitution/Munster)
5 – Paul O’Connell (Young Munster/Munster)

6 – Stephen Ferris (Dungannon/Ulster)
7 – David Wallace (Garryowen/Munster)
8 – Denis Leamy (Cork Con/Munster)
